Using transparent png as a texture, the composition modulates the x, y position using sin / cos waves while the image scales. Expensive and a little slow, but the process of watching the images being made is nice. Some of the final images ... http://www.daisyrust.com/2009/06/05/193/ UNDERGOING MAINTENANCE Please check back - I am currently updating the site with new images, commentary, compositions and movies! http://www.daisyrust.com/2009/06/05/real-time-video-depth-computation-in-quartz-composer/ I've written a chapter in the following book: "Experiments in Digital Puppetry. Video Hybrids in Quartz Composer". It involves the material on this site and elsewhere that describes real-time video processing and the use of Quartz Composer in performance. I feel quite proud to be in such interesting and diverse ... http://www.daisyrust.com/2008/08/01/digital-puppetry-and-quartz-composer-chapter/ I have a piece of 'net.art' called 'Texturisr' in an exhibition at Watermans. London, between 17th March – 1st April 2007. I'll post some further details of the work here soon. But for now: I completed 'Texturisr' in 2005 as a nod to the then booming obsession with 'Web 2.0' and took ... http://www.daisyrust.com/2007/02/14/exhibition-of-texturisr-at-sense-detectives/ Download: http://www.daisyrust.com/quartzcomposer/reflections_fxplug_V2.qtz.zip A second version of my 'tiger reflections patch'. Now with a simpler interface and Noise Industries 'FXFactory' ready! The patch is simplifed and slightly more reliable than the previous version. The generated image can now rotate without producing artifacts. The gradient setup is now automated. Less control but simpler. ... http://www.daisyrust.com/2007/02/13/quartz-composer-tiger-reflections-patch-version-2/ Download: aqua_style_circle_mask_001.zip The patch does a simple thing of producing an 'aquafied' circle. I created this patch when I was exploring masks and how best to create a circle using the current Quartz Composer toolset. The patch contains some useful techniques working between pixels and Quartz Composer units. It is also ... http://www.daisyrust.com/2007/02/13/quartz-composer-aqua-style-circle-mask/ I've composed a patch that creates an iris transition. You can position it in x - y space, control the iris size and feather the edge of the mask. Download Link: iris_quartz_composer.zip Some Notes The patch is quite simple to use. For a recent digital puppetry project, I connected the iris radius to ... http://www.daisyrust.com/2007/02/13/quartz-composer-iris-transition/ I have recently completed the first prototype of a major digital puppetry project that relies heavily on Quartz Composer in an arena of live performance familiar to vj-ers, visual artists and visualists. I have a set of predefined visuals ('scenes') and effects and a complex mechanism that lets me composite ... http://www.daisyrust.com/2007/02/12/digital-puppetry-project-using-quartz-composer/
